This is a genuine base brick pair for the Loxton and Churchill 5kW stove, Mk1 model built before August 2012, supplied by Eurostove.
- Fits: Loxton and Churchill 5kW stove, Mk1 model, built before August 2012
- Position: floor of the firebox, directly beneath the fire
- Weight: approximately 1kg for the pair
- Confirmed against Eurostove's stock records as a genuine two-brick set
Base bricks take a heavier battering than most other firebox bricks: they bear the direct weight of logs or fuel, get knocked by pokers and riddling tools, and absorb the most intense heat in the stove. Because of this, they tend to be among the first bricks to crack or wear down, and gaps or breakages here matter more than elsewhere in the firebox, since a worn base brick can expose the steel or cast iron floor of the stove to direct flame. That risks overheating and long-term damage to the appliance, so replacing base bricks promptly once damage appears is a sensible piece of routine stove maintenance rather than a cosmetic fix.
As with all fire bricks, the exact size and shape is specific to the firebox it was designed for, so this pair is matched to the pre-August 2012 5kW Mk1 Loxton/Churchill build rather than being a universal fit. If you're unsure which mark of stove you have, check the data plate or get in touch with Eurostove before ordering to make sure you get the right pair.
